MDS WiYZ Gateway
Publication No. 05-4888A01, ev. B
The MDS WiYZ p atform a ows the connection of process sensors
to a wire ess network. Wire ess y networked sensors a ow moni-
toring and contro of equipment and processes without the infra-
structure requirements of a hard-wired system. The WiYZ
p atform’s IP65 Outdoor Rating a ows insta ation of the gateway
and remotes outdoors, if required.
The WiYZ system consists of a gateway and up to 50 remote units.
This startup guide discusses primari y the WiYZ Gateway shown in
Figure 1.
In addition to these instructions, the MDS WiYZ Technical Manual
(05-4954A01) provides he pfu guidance on WiYZ systems and
menus. A so refer to the MDS WiYZ Remote Setup Guide
(05-4953A01). E ectronic copies of a user documents and data
sheets are avai ab e free of charge at www.gemds.com.
1.1 WiYZ Gateway
The WiYZ Gateway is a wire ess mu tifunction network product that
provides connectivity between oca Ethernet networks, seria
devices or wire ess data co ection nodes, and a remote data
center or host system. It is idea y suited for demanding app ica-
tions where range and re iabi ity are important. The Gateway can
be optiona y equipped with an integra ce u ar modem for connec-
tivity to the pub ic ce u ar infrastructure.
This unique mix of wire ess techno ogy and data connectivity types
offers new so utions for users requiring re iab e communication
with remote networks and monitoring devices where communica-
tion or operating power is imited. The fo owing tab e ists the radio
interfaces the Gateway is capab e of operating with.

2.1 WiYZ Gateway Installation
Refer to Figure 2 during these steps, as required:
1. Mount the WiYZ Gateway. Can be mounted using a wa
mount p ate, a po e mount, or strapped to a mast.
2. Connect an Ethernet Cable (regular or crosso er) to the
WiYZ Gateway’s LAN port.
3. Connect power to the WiYZ Gateway. The WiYZ Gateway
requires 10 to 30 Vdc. Use supp ied power cab e.

Figure 2. WiYZ Gateway External Connectors
This section describes web-based configuration. If you wish to use
seria contro via COM1, proceed to Section 4.0 instead.
In the steps that fo ow, you wi og into the WiYZ Gateway’s Web
interface and begin to set the basic operating parameters.
NOTE: Consu t your System Administrator if you are unsure of
the proper configuration settings for your network.
1. Connect computer’s Ethernet cab e to the Gateway’s LAN
connector. Open a web browser and navigate to
https://192.168.1.1. (You might need to change the PC’s IP
address to 192.168.1.x).
Defau t username: admin
Defau t password: admin
2. Using the Configuration>>Time & Identity screen, update
the Gateway’s device information and date/time settings.
3. Configuration of the Gateway wi be unique for every insta a-
tion. Using the bui t-in menu system, set up and configure the
Gateway and Remote units per system requirements. Setup
Wizards are provided to simp ify configuration for common
arrangements.
Refer to the MDS WiYZ Technical Manual (05-4954A01) for
additiona detai s on menu settings. Key areas for consider-
ation inc ude the fo owing items:
• Radio Interfaces
• IP & Networking
• Services
• Security
• Mesh Network
Seria -based configuration of the WiYZ Gateway is primari y imited
to basic configuration settings. For genera setup and configuration
use web-based configuration as described in Section 3.0.
In the steps be ow, you wi og into the Gateway’s conso e menu
system and begin to set the basic operating parameters.
NOTE: Consu t your System Administrator if you are unsure of
the proper configuration settings for your network.
1. Attach computer’s seria cab e to COM1 (115200 bps, 8N1).
2. Start a termina program such as HyperTermina .
3. Press the Enter key to obtain the ogin prompt.
Defau t username: admin
Defau t password: admin
4. Enter the ipconfig command to view current networking
setup.
5. Configuration of the network interfaces uses the ipconfig
command—enter ipconfig help to view syntax and options.
6. Type help to see other avai ab e commands and
< alid command> help for syntax and options on a particu ar
command.
In-service operation of the WiYZ Gateway is comp ete y automatic.
The on y operator actions required are to app y power and check
the front pane LEDs for proper indications as described be ow.

If troub e occurs, verify that the unit meets the fo owing basic oper-
ating requirements: 1) Adequate and stable primary power, 2)
Secure cable connections, and 3) Proper interface configura-
tions. These items shou d be checked prior to starting any detai ed
troub eshooting or ca ing for factory assistance.
6.1 LEDs
The gateway’s LED indicator pane provides usefu information
when troub eshooting SDA prob ems. Refer to Figure 3 and its
accompanying tab e for LED data.
6.2 Antenna Checks
Over-the-air communication/range troub es can often be traced to
improper antenna insta ation or unit p acement. The fo owing
checks shou d be made if there is a signa strength prob em in the
network:
• Make sure that the correct antenna is insta ed on each port
(see Figure 1) and that each antenna is tight y secured.
• Insta the WiYZ Gateway so that the antennas are vertica .
• Insta the unit as high as possib e to maximize signa
strength.
• Insta the unit in a ocation that is ine-of-sight to the associ-
ated remote units.
• Avoid p acing the unit near other antennas or wire ess equip-
ment.
• Avoid p acing the unit near arge meta objects.

FCC Part 15 Notice
This Equipment has been tested and found to comp y with the imits for a C ass
A digita device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Ru es. These imits are designed
to provide reasonab e protection against harmfu interference when the equip-
ment is operated in a commercia environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not insta ed and used in
accordance with the instruction manua , may cause harmfu interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residentia area is ike y to
cause harmfu interference in which case users wi be required to correct the
interference at their own expense.
This device comp ies with Part 15 of the FCC Ru es. Operation is subject to the
fo owing two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmfu interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received; inc uding interference that
may cause undesired operation.
FCC Notice for CDMA Module
This PCII adds AMPS operation to previous fi ing. Modu e Approva . Power
Output isted is conducted. The antenna gain, inc uding cab e oss, must not
exceed 9.5 dBi at 1900 MHz/2.26 dB at 850 MHz for mobi e operating configu-
rations and 13.5 dBi at 1900 MHz/2.93 dB at 850 MHz for fixed-mount opera-
tions, as defined in 2.1091 and 1.1307 of the ru es for satisfying RF exposure
comp iance. Separate approva is required for portab e operating configurations,
as defined in 2.1093 of the ru es. The fina product operating with this transmitter
must inc ude operating instructions and app icab e warnings, as described in this
fi ing, for end-users and insta ers to satisfy RF exposure comp iance require-
ments. OEM integrators must be informed of the specific requirements.
RF Exposure Notice
To comp y with RF exposure requirements, the antenna sha be insta ed to
ensure a minimum separation distance of 20 cm from persons. The antenna
may not be co ocated or operated in conjunction with other transmitting devices.
To reduce potentia radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain shou d be so chosen that the Equiva ent Isotropica y Radiated Power
(EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successfu communication.
Only appro ed antennas may be used on the unit's RF output connectors,
as listed below. The use of non-appro ed antennas may result in a iola-
tion of FCC rules, and subject the user to FCC enforcement action.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
